I'm considering converting the old laptop I use as a hinge server (Plex, media, few other bits) from Ubuntu to #Flatcar Linux and then running all the services in containers on #k3s

Is this daft?
Curious to use one of the container native base OSs

2 days is not enough to recover from #emf2024
My wrists and ankles hurt too much for swim training that I pulled out after the warm up. Listen to your body.4 nights camping and 4 days standing takes it's toll.

Geeks, any thoughts on home mesh #wifi kit?

• I don't want anything that has a SAAS component/subscription to it
• I've a 3 bed semi - does not need to smash through lots of walls
• Ideally the mesh points would hve USb so I can power other things off them and reduce my plug us.

What's all this 4/5/6/7 stuff about?

Follow up - is this article https://www.tomsguide.com/us/best-mesh-router,review-5191.html full of shit of should I just buy their best value recommendation the TP-Link Deco XE75?

I didn't manage to fit https://hachyderm.io/@coldclimate/112512932209525390 or the other input devices in the car to bring to #emfcamp swap shop. They're too interesting to bin, of anybody would like them let me know and we'll figure it out. I'm in Gateshead.

Cleaned up my #solargraph from #emfcamp
I didn't really catch the path of the sun, but I've not had a photo this sharp from a Solarcan Puck before.

Finish work, make a cocktail, delight in watching the PM get pissed on and drowned out. Quince Gin and It.

#uklegal folks, recommendations for people/companies who can sort me out with a will, without having to come into their office physically, gratefully received. Video call/email/digital signing etc etc.

I recently bought a Kobo Libra 2 ereader to replace my beloved (and dead) Kindle Paperwhite.
After a rough start (wouldn't connect to the WiFi, website is a bit shit) its turning out to be a lovely device.
Now... are there any #dataLiberation tools I should know about. I want access to my stats damn it!

At work, challenge Three Letter Acronyms (TLA) at every opportunity.

• They are a barrier to entry for those who don't live in your work
• People are embarrassed to ask, so at best they are distracted Googling. Mostly they are now just not understanding
• When used in combinations they make sentences difficult to parse. "We're targeting key SLOs as a way to maintain our SLAs as one of our OKRs for EOW".

I freaking hate them

My beloved gen 1 Paperwhite #kindle died and I've chosen to replace it with a Kobo Libra 2 and start to escape the Amazon #ebook ecosystem. I've already dedrmd all my existing purchases.
Ironically I had to buy my Kobo from Amazon, only place with any stock.

I bought the smaller version of this driver kit from @pimoroni and it's been super handy. Every DIY job from flat pack furniture to electrical sockets I use it. https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/mahi-driver-kit-48-bit-driver-kit?variant=3095783047178

coldclimate, 1 month ago to mastodon

I'm not posting a lot here right now, because I'm busy and I've finally broken the adrenaline and serotonin cycle of social media. I bloody love #mastodon even if (especially because?) it's quieter.
I miss a load of folks from Twitter, but ultimately I don't feel im missing out.

The train today...

• Red hot, even though it's cold outside
• Smells of literal shit
• People playing media out from their phones
• IN THE QUIET COACH
• From my seat I can see 4 different flickering laptops and phones with people watching video
• The two rich kids in front of me abbering on about how unfair life is
• only nearly £200 for this delightful experience

@mattgrayyes you love your Gameboy camera right? Did you ever get the printer? A friend is hunting and not having a lot of luck.
